Can't recall a time when He asked explicitly for worship, although He did say that a person won't get through to God the Father without honouring the Son.
Notice on 2 occasions at least that I can readily call to mind He received worship and accepted it:
John 9:35-41 Where man born blind He healed worships Him. He then uses the situation to indicate that the pharisees who won't believe Him are (spiritually) blind.
John 20:28-31 Jesus receives worship from the resurrection doubter Thomas, and accepts it.
That Jesus was awesome and more than human was revealed at times and led to awestruck response happened at times:
E.g. at the Transfiguration in Matthew 17 when Jesus in his pre-incarnate glory was manifested to the core 3 disciples James, John and Peter resulted they fell to the ground in creaturely fear.
I think part of the reason there wasn't a great deal of worship before Jesus was glorified was that he looked merely human, except on a few occasions such as the Transfiguration.
Notice that Stephen in Acts 7 before he is stoned has a vision of Christ at the right hand of God, and in effects worships Him and God the Father.
-------
There is quite a lot of worship of Jesus as Messiah and Son of God in the epistles, as by then of course, and after receiving the Holy Spirit, the disciples knew who He was.
Mohammedans have perhaps only considered the gospel accounts (injil) and not the epistles so are missing a vast amount of evidence.
As the letters require spiritual discernment that can only come when a person is born again, maybe this is to be expected. A person has to believe Jesus' claims to be our Saviour and Son of God for that miraculous and life-giving action to take place. Only then is a person out of the Kingdom of darkness and into God's marvellous light.

This should make you think twice about Islam to Mohammed's angel if you are reasoning well. Your eternal destiny may depend on being open-minded.

John 5:22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
John 10:30 I and the Father are one."
John 14:1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
John 14:8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."
9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

Do you have an understanding that Jesus actually IS God? God is triune - three in one - which is seen everywhere from Genesis ch. 1 through the book of Revelation. The word "trinity" or "triune" are not in the Bible, as they come from a Latin root (and the Latin translations weren't written until after the Bible was canonized)...but it was a concept that was well understood by both OT and NT Jews and Christians.
Jesus came to point us to the Father (Almighty God, Adonai, Creator of heaven and earth, however you'd like to refer to Him)...so no, he didn't tell us to worship himself. People in those days had a tendency to put the emphasis on people, rather than God, and he didn't want them to erroneously worship him (rather than the full being of God) just because they could see him. He did, however, make it very clear that he was the Christ, the Messiah, the Annointed One, the Savior, the Son of God, and that he is truly part of the triune God.
John 1:1 says that he is "ho Logos" - the Word, the manifested utterance of God. He is inherently God. He took on human form so that he could go through the same things we do without sinning, he could teach and show us who and where God is, and he could be the ultimate paschal lamb, the sinless sacrifice who became the vicarious bearer of our sins so that we could be acceptable in God's sight - we would have the covering (the root that the Jewish feast day Yom Kippur - Day of Covering - comes from) that would allow us to be in fellowship with God.
He was the One through whom we were created (again, see John 1), he redeemed us through his death and resurrection (look anywhere in the New Testament, as well as several OT prophetic psalms and prophecies), he makes mediation (is the "go between" between us and God) on our behalf, and he'll come again to take us to himself. This is all clearly outlined through scripture.
No, Jesus did not say to for us to worship him during the 33 years that he was here on earth, for good reason; however, the other several thousand years' worth of scripture clearly point us toward the worship of him. I've read it in full, more than once, and I strive to know Him fully, even as He knows and loves me. That would be why I worship him.
Hope that helps!

Jesus said he that honors Him honors the Father. Also, you are forgetting when Mary broke the alabaster box and anointed Jesus for the preparation of His death on the cross. When Judas rebuked her- Jesus told him that is would be a memorial to her for her honor of Jesus sacrifice. Also when Peter and the other disciples went fishing all day and caught nothing they were nearing shore and Jesus was there. He said brothers- have you caught any fish? They said no. He told them to cast their nets on the other side of the ship. They were tired but did it because He said. They caught a huge amount so the ship nearly sank from all the draft of fish. Peter said to Jesus My Lord and my God and worshiped Him. You have a point-I don't worship Him because He didn't say to. But when you see for yourself who He is and what He has done- I can't help but worship Him everyday.

Jesus accepted worship...
In the New Testament: "I and the Father are one". (John 10:30) The Greek word for one, hen, is not in the masculine case but in the neuter. Thus Jesus is not saying that he and the Father are the same person but that they are unified in nature and equality.(11)
During his ministry Jesus revealed his deity in many ways. Perhaps one of the most clear-cut actions of Jesus, which reveals his deity, was his forgiveness of sins. Mark 2 starts with the account of the healing of the paralytic. Here Jesus simply says "Son, your sins are forgiven" (Mark 2:5).(4) In Isaiah 43:25, and 44:22, God states that the forgiveness of sins is something that the true God does as opposed to Idols (Isaiah 44:12-20). Therefore the Jews were quite correct when they began thinking, "Who can forgive sins but God alone?" (Mk 2:7) It is important to note that Jesus does not say that they were incorrect in their belief that only God can forgive sins. Instead he replies: "Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'?" (Mk 2:9) Jesus could do both, he could forgive sins as easily as he could heal! Since only God can forgive sins Jesus had to believe he was God.
God is different from humanity. His nature is marked by characteristics that humans just do not possess. Yet Jesus claimed to possess many of these characteristics that only God has. God is Omnipresent (Psalms 139:7-12), yet Jesus also claimed this ability. In Matthew 18 Jesus told his disciples "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." (Matt 18:20) After the resurrection, Jesus told his disciples: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matt 28:20).
Jesus states that: "The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil." (Matt 13:39-41) Here Jesus clearly says that the angels belong to him and that the kingdom at the end of the age is his kingdom. Yet the angels belong to God and elsewhere this kingdom is called the kingdom of God.(7)
